Too many babies are without the essentials to meet their most basic needs. Volunteers at Newborns in Need believe each one deserves these items that give them a warm and healthy start in life.

Newborns in Need, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 charity organized that provides care necessities to agencies and hospitals serving premature, ill or impoverished newborns. They collect needed items such as baby wash, sleepers, diapers, wipes, thermometers and other necessary items, which are distributed in the local community. They are in need of crocheted booties, toys, and blankets since they don’t receive as many of these items.

For a list of needed items, go to www.newbornsinneed.org and find your nearest chapter or send your gifts directly to: 5723 Country Club Road #R, Winston Salem, NC 27104.

Note: Many hospitals and other donation sites do NOT accept any items that have been exposed to smoke and/or pet dander, as these are environmental irritants to babies. If you have pets, please be sure you keep your crafting materials stored in areas they do not have access to. Also, avoid using wool or wool-blended yarns since it is another common allergen.
